Excited to share that Matthew Darmour-Paul, Han Kwon, and I received 2nd place in the CSI Competition. The competition, hosted by the Construction Specifications Institute of Central Iowa, invited twelve teams from the comprehensive project studios at 5th year and graduate level to compete.

A critique on the aimless developer driven urbanization currently happening in the Seaport District of Boston, our project used a scale to counter extreme development and preserve the identity of Seaport currently being erased.

The semester rounded out with a fantastic end. With the best, most challenging, team I had yet to work with, and a professor who believed in our project, The Boston Music Complex ended up meaning so much more to me than the 2,000 seat jazz venue I had always imagined myself designing early in my academic career.

We had five minutes to present the project, and five minutes of clarification for the jury. You can find our presentation below.
